I would use color 494 for that since it is the color used commonly for parts made out of metal rather than plastic. The part looks pretty good so far, looking forward for the finished version!

If I can drop a note in here I would imagine the outer wheel edge should be hi-res. Perhaps use a 48/4-4aring at the edge and then use hi-res whatever you use for the actual blue wheel?

Thank you for the reply. C494 looks good.
Actually I made a quick and dirty hi-res for the torus and it looks much better, so maybe I redesign the wheel at least in the outer parts before I submit it to the parts tracker (I have to do a bit of reading in the rules there as well :) ).
(Unfortuneatly I can't use any primitives for the wheel, because I modeled it in 60deg-segments in order to take advantage of this highly symmetric part. But all the primitives are 22.5deg (/4) or 3.75deg (/48)).
